John Woo’s latest Hollywood venture, Silent Night, starring Joel Kinnaman, is a dialogue-lite revenge thriller set on Christmas Eve. The reviewer finds the film underwhelming, with a slow, tedious pace and uninteresting action scenes. Despite Kinnaman’s fine performance as a grieving father, the lack of dialogue is ineffective and seems forced. Despite Woo’s reputable filmography, the film lacks distinctiveness and fails to impress, being deemed not worth viewers’ time.
